And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of
man is this, that even winds and sea obey Him?” Matthew 8:26-27
At Home Readings: Matthew 8:23-27 Psalm 107:1-29
Imagine following
Jesus around during His earthly ministry. You witness leprosy healed! You hear
the power of Jesus’ Word as He heals the centurions servant! And if that
weren’t enough, Jesus shows you His power over the devil and his
demons as He cast out demons with His Word.
One
day, you find yourself on a boat with Jesus. Jesus is sleeping
when all the sudden a massive storm strikes. You’ve been through
storms before, but this one seems different. Quickly, you wake Jesus
and plead for help. He says some troubling words, “Why
are you afraid, O you of little faith?” How
do you react to this?
The disciples reacted,
saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey Him?” Many
times we read this and wonder why the disciples would even ask a question like
that? Didn’t they know Jesus had this kind of power? Why couldn’t
He calm the storm?
“What sort of man is
this?” He is Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God – our Savior. He is
the One who has power over sin, death, and the devil. He promises that He
will lead us and protect us. With Him, we need not fear – He will get us
through the storm!
